The absence of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers has come under scrutiny. This follows Ghana's 2-0 defeat to Côte d'Ivoire, where a penalty decision led to Côte d'Ivoire's second goal. Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz described the penalty call as 'a joke' after watching replays. Additionally, fans questioned Madagascar's first goal against Nigeria, though replays showed the player was not offside. These controversies have raised questions about why VAR is not used in these matches.
